All the used materials, references to the literature and the work of others have been referred to. This thesis has not been presented for examination anywhere else. Author: Kaidi Kruuspan 14.05.2018 3 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to develop a model to analyse usage, cost and need of biological treatments in Estonia based on biological treatment used on patients with multiple sclerosis as a model. The aim is achieved by comparing the quality and availability of data in different databases. A statistical analysis was performed by using different databases (the State Agency of Medicines, the Estonian Health Insurance Fund and hospital databases). In addition, interviews were conducted with area experts. The results of synthesis and comparison of data demonstrate that even though databases provide various data, obtaining a full and comprehensive picture of the situation is complicated due to different limitations of databases. However, the trends of usage and cost can be inferred rather clearly. This thesis is written in English and is 78 pages long, including 6 chapters, 24 figures and 7 tables. 4 Annotatsioon Sclerosis multiplex’i bioloogiline ravi analüüs Eestis Bioloogiline ravi on elusorganismi poolt toodetud või sellest saadud ainet toimeainena sisaldavad ravimid, mida toodetakse biotehnoloogilistel meetoditel.

  • Mifamurtide Therapy
    NCCP Chemotherapy Regimen Mifamurtide Therapy INDICATIONS FOR USE: Regimen Reimbursement INDICATION ICD10 Code Status Mifamurtide can be used in combination with post-operative multi-agent chemotherapy for the treatment of high-grade resectable non-metastatic C41 00100a ODMS osteosarcoma after macroscopically complete surgical resection, in children, adolescents and young adults. This treatment is an option to be discussed with the patient (or parent of a child). TREATMENT: The starting dose of the drugs detailed below may be adjusted downward by the prescribing clinician, using their independent medical judgement, to consider each patients individual clinical circumstances. The recommended dose of mifamurtide for all patients is 2 mg/m2 body surface area. It should be administered as adjuvant therapy, in combination with post-operative multi-agent chemotherapy, following resection and recovery from surgery (usually +/- 3 weeks post operatively): twice weekly at least 3 days apart for 12 weeks, followed by once-weekly treatments for an additional 24 weeks for a total of 48 infusions in 36 weeks. Treatment should continue to completion or until unacceptable toxicity occurs. Please Refer to NCCP regimen 00463 (MAP) Methotrexate (12000mg/m2) DOXOrubicin (37.5mg/m2/day) and CISplatin (60mg/m2) Therapy which is usually used in conjunction with Mifamurtide Therapy. Day Drug Dose Route Diluent & Rate Weeks 1 and 4 Mifamurtide 2mg/m2 IV infusion 50ml* 0.9% NaCl over 60 1-12 inclusive minutes 1 13-36 inclusive *The final volume will be greater than 50 ml as the required dose is added to 50 ml 0.9% NaCl giving a total volume between 50 ml - 100 ml.
